(MENAFN) Government of Cuba is trying to renovate the coffee industry of the country by offering high salaries in harvest season and replanting old plantations with low corps.
Pickers gain 161(6 dollars) Cuban pesos for each 2kg can of coffee cherries and 107 CUP (4 dollars) for the robusta.
Manager of the Coffee and Cocoa Processing Center in Tercer Frente said: "During the harvest, every worker earns an average monthly salary of 6,000 CUP (226 dollars), which contributes to increasing quality and efficiency, and spurs personnel to make a bigger effort to earn more."
Over 15,000 tons arranged to be produced each year, although not reaching the 24,000 tons required for the domestic demand and skipping the 8,000 tons imported yearly from Vietnam.
